Fire prevention

You may wish to assess your building's compliance with the fire safety standards and to design a building that complies with the various fire prevention-related Royal Decrees. In these and other cases, you can turn to Vinçotte to help you in every step of the process of negotiating with the fire services and also in submitting an exemption application. Capitalising on its experience, Vinçotte can help you determine the item's compliance with the law and do so at every stage of the process, from the design stage up to the handover of the building.

Against the background of a new construction or renovation project, Vinçotte's engineers will work with you to help apply the fire prevention-related Royal Decrees right up to end of the project so you can be sure that the legal requirements are actually being observed. Vinçotte will help guide you through the process of interpreting the Royal Decrees in order to speed up your permit applications, while our analysis of your case will ensure you present the fire- fighting service with a clear project. In the case of specific buildings, Vinçotte can offer you support in your dealings with the Ministry to secure the appropriate exemptions.

You can rely on the Vinçotte Civil Engineering department to operate as an independent advisor, offering you the expertise you need to find a tailor-made solution and guiding you towards an outcome in keeping with the Royal Decrees.
